Prop1 results

Hey everyone,

So, Prop1 passed which repealed the gay marriage law in Maine. Forty-seven percent of voters voted in favor of gay marriage, so it was close. Ironically (at least it seems ironic), legislation allowing medical marijuana passed in Maine. However, on a brighter side, Washington passed a bill to allow same sex unions. Still, it raises a question as to why this was repealed. Perhaps, it's the definition of marriage as compared to same sex unions. However, I don't see how there's a difference. I'm sure there will be an appeal, but I doubt that the results will be overturned even though it's discrimination. Honestly, I'm surprised that a socially liberal state such as Maine would overturn this decision, but, apparently, I'm wrong about the direction of this country. However, with every loss is a possibility of hope because increasingly conflicting results will encourage the Supreme Court to hear these cases and change the law once and for all.
